Hello Katana, For what it may be worth this is an buttssment I made a few years ago; "Having studied architecture at university, worked as an engineer for over four decades, and collected toy soldiers for seven decades, I would cite the selection of scale, i.e. size, as a very important, if not...

Hello Aidman, Believe you may in luck.The 6 pdr in the Market Garden Series, Set MG019 (which I just physically checked), has movable trails.

Hello Retman57, Believe it or not I began collecting W. Britains Ltd in 1948. Obviously my perspective is that of a collector/buyer, not a seller, however there are certain facts that universally apply. You may be interested, depending on how much time you are able to spend, to glance at a blog...

Hello Scott, Am thinking that there might be a slight bit of confusion over the unit(s) I believe you are referring to. There were two RAF Light Warning Units (LWUs), 6341 and 6080 attached to Headquarters,1st Airborne Corps. There is little or no reference made regarding these units in any of...

ALERT: For those collectors having Imperial of New Zealand cavalry figures. Principally those in charging poses. Due to the metallurgy employed in these solid figures the weight of the horse’s body over an extended time will cause the metal in the legs to “slump” i.e. metal fatigue. This results...
